4x4 months

hooray!

i am 16 months old today
and so far have been
growing and developing
at an exponential rate
my current obsessions
include (but are not limited to)
cars
(who would have thought?!)
combing hair
(mama fears i am morphing into a Grease T-Birdy!!!)
brushing teeth
wearing mama's spectacles
wraping ribbons, scarves
and teatowels around my neck
(this one's horrified papa...)
cooing at animals
playing peek-a-boo
playing chasey
playing on slides and swings
eating cheerios
eating roast chicken
eating fruit
running around freely
clambering atop the folks
climbing up and down stairs
actually, make that
climbing onto anything
playing giddyup horsey
shrieking like a banshee
testing my boundaries
and of late
pointing at things excitedly
expecting the folks to name them...
